The front wheel/disks are a straight swap between the NC30 and the 35.

I haven't done it mate but it's a pretty common 'upgrade'. I believe you'll have to use the NC30 spacers with the front NC35 wheel but apart from that it's a direct swap. The rear is a straight swap, apart from the aforementioned ride height issue.

You always see that message, its just a reminder.

Anyhow, yes you can fit both without doing anything.

As you have already mentioned, if you don't change the RVF shock linkage as well the ride-height won't be right and will affect the bike a little.
